Which is the Best Nvidia Card for FS9? Being relatively new to this I am unsure which card is best.I have Win XP SP3 (32 bit), 3.4 GHZ CPUNot sure about Windows 7 yet as to whether there are any compatability issues for FS9, my addons and my Saitek Yoke.Many thanks,Chris EGBB

What video card are you currently using?

8800 Ultra geforce many thanks,Chris

Your CPU is 3.4GHz and you're probably not overclocking if you're asking for tech advice, so chances are that means you're using a P4, in which case your bottleneck is your CPU and not your GPU.

Many thanks TechguyMaxc. I overclocked the CPU from 3.2Ghz to 3.4Ghz any higher and the system seems to crash.Bets Rgerads,Chris EGBB

I can see from your other thread that you're actually using a Core 2 Quad Extreme 9650, which is a much better processor than I suspected. If your system is unstable when overclocking, you need more voltage and/or better cooling.

I have the same question.I know a GFX 470 will not do much (I read the forum).However, I need a card with more RAM.What is the recommendation?ThanksGhiom

An 8800 Ultra geforce is more than enough for FS9's relatively low graphical demands, even if you are running a TH2G setup like I am. I run an 8800 GTS now, but even the 7900 GTO I had before it was just as good in FS9.

Not necessarily.He could have the memory divider set incorrectly.

True, RAM may be set too high. I presume people know to set their memory @ rated speed or lower when OCing but some may not.
